Happy Ending

I have never, I repeat, never felt so attached to a drama, let alone a Korean drama. 

A week after I gave up on my dream, Good Doctor started airing on TV. I never watched any medical dramas. Or Korean dramas. I mean yeah, I watched Korean dramas before when I was 9 or 10, and not after every teen in this country started to go crazy about them.

The final episode was aired just now, and thinking about how this drama greatly distracted me from my self-pity makes me feel so sad that after this there'll be no more fan-girl screaming and hand-flapping and awwwws and ahhhhs in front of the TV. It's like finishing a good book, and smiling alone on how the storyline and characters impacted you. 

But of course it wasn't only because of Joo Sang Wook's character. The irony is after I told the whole world I have no heart to finish what I started but to start anew, Good Doctor reminded me again and again about my unfinished journey. Two former classmates who (previously) were in the same boat as me had recently continued walking in the paths of their dreams, holding on tightly (and independently) to what they started in the first place, unlike me. Another friend pursued his lifelong passion in Computer Science. (And I'm here, counting Honey Stars).

And I'm like, "My goodness, this drama understands me."
(Credits to DramaFever for the subs and KBS for err..the scene? And to me, of course, 
who painstakingly screen-captured these). No copyright infringement is intended.

In the final episode (unrelated to the photo above, to you folks who missed this drama), it's just remarkable to see Kim Dohan treating Park Shion like a real big bro. This drama is the best I've watched, just because of the message of letting go, forgiveness, love, second chances, and so many more I think if I list them all up I would sound so sickeningly immature, trying to act philosophical. 

So that's how a Korean drama impacted my life this August - October 2013.

Keep calm, dream again, plan B always works. ;)

Detach

Letting go gracefully of something not meant for you requires great courage. And like all things in life, everything is temporary. 

I always treasure the value of silence.

It heals the biggest wounds, it allows the presence of a new outlook.

I'm back. And I'm gonna be lame like always, 'cause this is one oh-look-I'm-turning-wiser attempt kind of blog entry, so please don't be fooled.

But man, not giving a single poop to what's happening to the world and what you think you know is such a great feeling.

But of course I miss my friends like crazy. Remember the days before Facebook? I think those were the days when we genuinely miss our friends and cherish what we experienced together.

Cherish, not cling.

I can't believe I'm back to my lame philosophical mood. Let's celebrate with me. 

And ah I decided to hide my poem since I sent it to a publisher. (Haha?)

Sometimes I wonder why can I still have this funny part in me. As in the mood to be funny. 

Then I wonder,

why fret?

Play guitar while you still have fingers (and hands), read books while you still can read, sleep like crazy while you still have no chronic insomnia, smile and grin while you still have a/an (almost) complete set of teeth.

Gosh Fee, just stop whining and start living.

I shouldn't have worried so much about myself in the first place.

You know what does a short pause in life teach you?

It allows you to see two things:

Things that matter,

and things that don't. 

(I stole that from some random song lyrics yeah sorry).

Goodbye lovely readers. Don't worry I didn't take MDMA. I did take paracetamol though, 'cause this fever /flu/soar sore throat is killing me yeaaawww. (Or should I be saying awww yeaaa?)

Happiness is a choice.

Choose happiness. 

(I stole that from some random movie script yeah sorry).

And last but not least, teka-teki of the month:

What is Fee's biggest lie?

"I'll never like Korean dramas/actors/songs."

You guessed it. All my marvellous medic friends should watch Good Doctor (and fall in love with Joo Sang Wook).

I haven't been fan-girl screaming for so long.

Next post will make more sense, I promise. Bye.
